Twenty cents a jar, nine cents a pound of pork, and a can of Red Braised Meat. Qiao Ke is a little overpriced, but now that her restaurant is the only one, everyone in town who wants to eat Red Braised Meat will come to her house. Red Braised Meat isn't difficult, and someone smart will probably learn it in a short time.

Therefore, this price could only be used to earn money for a short period of time. Soon, the price would drop. As Jiaoniang understood this logic, she just hated herself for not having a single store. She sold the dishes for 500 yuan. If someone else could learn it, they would only need to sell dozens of cans of Red Braised Meat to earn it back.

Teaching Qiao Ke and watching her cook again didn't taste much different, so Jiaoniang decided to go back and buy some things.

But Qiao Ke held her back, "Where are you going now? If you want to eat with me, it's not too late for us to talk about something before we leave. "

It seemed like he was going to discuss matters of follow-up with her.

After getting Jiaoniang a bowl of rice and some dishes, the two of them sat under a tree in the yard and chatted.

"Is what you told me yesterday true?"

"In all these years, has your family's business been as booming as it is today?"

"Fiery Blaze?"

Unconsciously, Jiaoniang used a modern word. She waved her hand and said, "It means business is booming."

"Not really." Qiao Ke scratched her head and smiled embarrassedly. Her restaurant was only close to closing for business, and even a chef couldn't afford to hire her.

"So why don't you believe me? "I naturally have a way to make your shop big and strong. As long as you have ambition, I can help you." Jiaoniang was brimming with confidence. Putting everything aside, earning money was definitely her talent.

The cotton and wood in the yard had long since fallen, and the sun shone through the leaves. Qiao Ke gritted her teeth and decided to spill the beans. "I believe what you said, you are my own sister, and I won't hide it from you. Even in my dreams, I want to show my father that although I'm a woman, I'm not one bit inferior to a man!"

Jiaoniang patted her shoulder. When they first came into contact, she felt that Qiao Ke was a little naive and knew all about business matters.

"I'll help you."

Qiao Ke looked at Jiaoniang and replied with a heavy "Ai!". She used her sleeve to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes. She felt a little embarrassed. "I'll go to the kitchen to watch the fire first."

Qiao Ke gave Jiaoniang another five hundred coins as a sign of her determination to cooperate with Jiaoniang.

Jiaoniang didn't decline. She needed money for what she was going to do next.

Yesterday, when she saw Wang Meihua feeding the chickens with earthworms, although the nutrition was high, Jiaoniang was afraid of those molluscs so she didn't dare to catch those things to feed the chickens. Using millet and white rice was too wasteful. After thinking about it for a while, Jiaoniang suddenly thought of something good like bean curd.

Straws could be burned, soybeans could be fattened, beans could be grinded into noodles and tofu could be made into tofu. After making tofu, there were even more patterns. Jiaoniang couldn't help but drool when she thought of how stinky tofu was. After finishing the tofu, the leftover bean curd could still be used to feed chickens and pigs. No matter how one looked at it, it was worth it.

For the past two days, Jiaoniang had been thinking about the best way to improve her current situation. She had created too many dishes that would arouse suspicion. After all, making tofu was the easiest way to make tofu.

Jiaoniang did not remember having tofu in her memory, but she did not see it anywhere else. As long as she made tofu, she would be the only one in town.

The ingredients needed to make tofu were also simple. It was easy enough to get started. She bought some vinegar and a few kilograms of soybeans. Jiaoniang thought for a moment, then ran to the cloth shop and bought half a piece of white linen.

The first time, she could try to use vinegar to order tofu. If she succeeded, she would leave the sour cream for the next use, which was the same as the brine.

When he got home, he put the beans in a basin, poured water over it, soaked it all night and went to grind it tomorrow.

After making up her mind, Jiaoniang started to cook dinner again. She ate a simple meal by herself and drank a bowl of the leftover soup that had been left over from yesterday.

After eating and washing the dishes, Jiaoniang discovered that there was a big problem. There was no well in the yard! Most of the water in the vat had also been used up!

Most of the families in the village didn't have their own well. The villagers shared an old well under the tree at the top of the village. Not far from the well was a grass pavilion with a stone mill in it.

Jiaoniang was carrying a bucket as she walked down the dirt road towards the well. A few children, who were playing around nearby, saw her and scattered in a hurry. "The fox spirit is coming!"

Jiaoniang frowned, not because she was angry, but because the child was simple. If she could say something like that, it was definitely influenced by the adults.

As if she didn't hear him, Jiaoniang carried the bucket and walked along the village road to the end. At a glance, she saw the ancient tree that was over a hundred years old.

"If I had to say, that fox spirit was asking for it. Why didn't the mother-in-law of the other family say that her daughter-in-law stole the girl? She only had a few days of work and Lin Xiucai couldn't wait for it …"

"Hehe, if a fly doesn't bite a seamless egg, then look at her foxy look. Her walking butt is twisting and turning, and her eyes are filled with energy. Which man doesn't look at her twice?"

"That's right, that's right."

The women gathered together to do the embroidery, giggling and laughing together.

Jiaoniang could tell by listening to his words that he was talking about her. When she came to fetch water, a woman pushed the others aside and said, "Don't talk anymore, she's here."

"Sister-in-law, are you fetching water?" As Jiaoniang walked along, a young man around eighteen or nineteen years old, who was carrying a hoe, came by the fork in the road. He was walking straight ahead, but when he saw Jiaoniang, he scratched his head embarrassedly.

Looking through the memories, Jiaoniang recognized him as Lin Yang. He had gone to a school with the deceased Lin Xiucai, who was also his elder brother.

He wasn't good at school, and neither was Lin Fu and Lin Mu. He had worked in the fields after two years of school, so his family situation wasn't too good. Even now, he still hadn't proposed marriage. Lin Xiucai was in a weak state. Normally, he would help her after finishing her farm work.

Unable to tell his attitude, Jiaoniangfu bowed and said, "The water at home is almost used up. I'll go get some water."

"I've just gotten rid of the new grass in the field. With the good weather this year, there will definitely be a good harvest." As Lin Yang said this, he reached out to the wooden bucket in Jiaoniang's hand and said, "Let me help you fetch some water. Your body is too weak and you can't lift it."

Before Jiaoniang could say anything, a girl under the tree suddenly stood up. "A fox spirit is a fox spirit. It's only been a few days and you're already thinking of seducing a man!" You need to get water for someone like you? Open your clothes and let the men line up to fetch the water for you! "

Jiaoniang smiled sweetly and passed the bucket over. Since he meant well, she couldn't refuse. "Sorry for troubling you, brother."
